October 2009, Part 1

While I’ve taken many business trips, it was the one back then that I still remember the most.

I was working on the company annual report that year, and the first stop we had to make was to Moscow.

In the span of a week, me and the photo team (art director Stephen Doyle, photographer Elizabeth and her photo assistant, Daniel) would set our tripods down in Moscow, Saratov and Kazan (with a day trip to Mikhaylovka.)

The Volga River

We did four shoots in the span of that week. Saw some incredible sites.

Ate borscht.

Ramis, our drive (and security)

Russia was a place I never thought I’d get to. Haven’t been back, but hope to someday.
